Qualifications

To qualify, families must:
  • Be employed or enrolled in a training or educational program
  • Meet family size and gross monthly income guidelines
Qualifying families pay a portion of child care expenses, based on income and family size. They may use only licensed child care providers or centers under contract with Clark County Department of Job and Family Services. Becoming a licensed provider is a simple process. Often families continue with their existing provider once the provider becomes licensed.

For a listing of licensed providers call 4C for Children at 937-220-9660 or 800-256-1296.
